The possibility of UM officials filing criminal charges against two former professors accused of laking equipment which “did not belong to them" is presently being discussed by high administrative officials and university attorneys, reliable sources said
Dr. James Fulton and James Weeks allegedly took medical equipment valued in the “thousands of dollars" hy I'M Properly Control officials.
According to Dr. Harvey Blank, Department of Dermatology chairman, the equipment in question was bought with money partly obtained through the National Institute of Health for use in an acne research project.
“The grant was given to UM and not to Dr. Fulton or Weeks. Actually, all they were responsible for was the scientific accomplishment while UM was responsible for purchasing and owning the equipment used in the research." Blank said
Dr. Blank says UM had an agreement with the foundation
which clearly stated "all equipment is t he propertyof UM.”
“Actually, at UM individuals do not own anything except maybe a fountain pen here and there," Dr. Blank said.
Purchase orders and receipts are kept on file at UM Property Control. Frequent inventories help the department keep track of the equipment.
James Revell. director of Property Control, says UM “stands on

"Some of the stuff was given to the UM by the Federal government while other equipment was bought All equipment belonging to UM has inventory control stickers pasted on. and Fm sure this was no exception." Revell said.
Revell says Federal law gives the ownership of research equipment to the universities and not to the individual researchers.

At this time. Dr Fulton and Weeks are trying to reach a compromise with U M officials and Weeks says he is fairly certain the problem can be worked out without goingtothecourts.
"This problem has happened many times before and usually a compromise is reached at the end," Weeks said
When asked if the equipment actually belonged to them and if they had any proof of ownership, neither Fulton nor Weeks would comment.

According to Cohen, UM is in the process of gathering evidence but he prefers not to discuss the situation.
"I don't think any university likes to sue their professors," Cohen added.

Dr Blank believes Dr. Fulton is trying to use the Hurricane as a publicity vehicle for his Acne Medical Clinic which Fulton and Weeks recently opened on U S. I across from the IJM campus.
“He's a real entrepreneur Fulton won't work happily in any organization," Dr. Blank said
At the moment, UM officials are not certain whether they will compromise or take the matter to either criminal or civil court. Sources say tins case might just prove that UM has "complete knowledge" of what belongs to them.

With today's job market as grim as it is. most students are majoring in areas which they hope will assure them reasonable job security when they graduate from school. |
Not many people consider Fnglish a practical field of study, but actually, En-glish majors have countless opportunities for employment, outside of (he classroom according fo Dr. Robert S. Hnsmon, department chairman.
By majoring in Fnglish, students can prepare themselves for futures in law, medicine, business and federal service he said
“The majority of English students in the past have gone into teaching. Now the majority go looking for corporate positions, sometimes in related fields such as the book publishing industry or advertisement agencies," he said.
“The trend has reversed itself from teaching to corporate work. More students are also going into government positions."
Citing a recent Gallup poll, Dr. Hosmon said potential employers are looking for talented people who have mastered the basic-communication skills. English majors fulfill this requirement.
"In the Gallup poll," he said, “the presidents ot the 100 largest corporations in the country were asked which quality was most lacking among their executives. The consistent reply was the ability to communicate and to express themselves.

You never really learn the technical training of any job until you come to work. You should, however, have the background to communicate and deal with people in all facetsof life."
Dr. Hosmon said 250 UM students are currently enrolled as English majors. Upon graduation, they will be looking for employment in the fields of personnel relations, sales and marketing, public relations, management, advertising, editing, writing, research and investigation.
They can find these positions in practically every type of organization including hanking, electronic, chemicals, insurance, public transportation and aircraft and automotive Industries.
“An executive must have a knowledge of such subjects as history, literature and art to deal effectively with business associates who also have this knowledge,” Dr. Hosmon said.
to he with large corporations to hire people with broad and well-rounded educations."
Dr. William Babula, co-advisor to Sigma Tau Delta, the national English honorary, said the main area of endeavor for English graduates is law school
"There is also a tendency for them to go into industry and business," he said. "English majors are found to be more artirulate and better in may ways.
“The old reluctance to hiring them because they don't know the specifics of business has changed "
He said letters have been
received from many graduates who "seem to he successful in their fields "
Dr. Hosmon believes students minoring in English also have an edge over others in the job competition.
"Without giving you the in-depth experience that a major would, a minor supplies you with the rudiments to communicate effectively with others," he said.
"When you're dealing with an executive in either government or a corporate structure, an individual must have a well-rounded education in order to communicate effectively."

Besides bicycling. Schwaid enjoys collecting tapes of old radio shows, using his citizens band radio, and listening to "all kinds of music, from Bach to Yes."
This freshman is not without complaints however. Television courses are one of his pet peeves
